Some Numbers And Stat's

24 hours

Since this project forst started to roll out, on College Bank initially, the number of active users has been steadily increasing.  We have been developing the Mesh Network with quite and agile and open source approach: continuous improvemnts and integrations.  There have been some learning curves, stumbling blocks, and issues in need of a solution.  However, the numbers are showing that there is a good uptake on this totally no strings attached free offer.

The mesh is often reaching in excess of one thousand devices per day, and there's much more room fro growth!

The goal is to get as much coverage as possible in the town's neighbourhoods.
